2 Ingredient Sweet Potato Chocolate Mousse
This creamy and healthy 2 ingredient sweet potato chocolate mousse is silky, dairy-free, and melts in your mouth like truffles. It is a No cream, no sugar, no fuss—just sweet potato and dark chocolate!
Ingredients
1 cup mashed roasted sweet potato
- about 1 medium sweet potato
- ¾ to 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate around 150–175g
Optional (to taste):
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch sea salt
- Dash cinnamon or espresso powder
- 1 –2 tsp maple syrup or honey if you want it sweeter
Instructions
Step 1 – Roast the Sweet Potato:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and poke 1 sweet potato with a fork, wrap in foil, and roast for 45–50 minutes until caramelized and soft.
- Cool, peel, and mash until smooth to get 1 cup mashed roasted sweet potato. (You can do this in advance.)
Step 2 – Melt the Chocolate:
- In a heat-safe bowl, melt ¾ to 1 cup dark chocolate either in the microwave (20-second bursts) or over a double boiler. Stir until silky and smooth.
- Optional: Stir in vanilla extract, sea salt, or other flavorings at this stage.
Step 3 – Mix & Blend:
- Add the mashed sweet potato into melted chocolate. Use a spatula to mix, then blend using a hand blender or food processor until thick and creamy like mousse.
- Tip: If the mix is too thick, add 1 tbsp warm almond or coconut milk. Taste and adjust sweetness with maple syrup if needed.
Step 4 – Chill the Mousse:
- Spoon mousse into jars, ramekins, or dessert cups. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours or overnight for best texture.
Notes
Roast your sweet potatoes in advance and keep them in the fridge — it’ll save time and give your mousse a deep caramel flavor. Also, don’t over blend or add too much liquid; the mousse needs to stay thick to set well!
